Genotype: List the possible genotypes! DominantRecessive WingsA = curlya=straight Eye ColorR = redr = white Body ColorB = tanb = yellow

16. Oct. 11 & 12 th 2011 Homozygous vs. Heterozygous Mr. Martell 506 Allele: a version of one gene Example: curly wing allele = A Example: straight wing allele = a Homozygous: having identical alleles or versions of a gene for a trait Example: Homozygous Dominant (AA) Example: Homozygous Recessive (aa) Heterozygous: having different alleles or versions of a gene for a trait Example: Heterozygous (Aa) “Homo” = Same “Hetero” = Different

18. Investigation Pg 2-7Pg 2-8 1.Glue the investigation handouts into your composition book. 2.Read introduction and answer pre-lab questions

19. Investigation: Sexual Reproduction 1. Each partner will get a nucleus (plastic cup) with two chromosomes (popsicle sticks). 2. Close your eyes and randomly pick one chromosome to pass down to your offspring. 3. Record the genotype and phenotype on your handout. 4. Add the traits to your fruit fly cut out and place on wall next to similar flies. 5. Repeat until you have data for 4 offspring Male Nucleus Chromosomes Female Nucleus Offspring Nucleus

20. Investigation: Asexual Reproduction 1. Close your eyes and select both chromosomes from the female’s nucleus and place them in the offspring nucleus. 3. Record the genotype and phenotype on your handout. 4. Add the traits to your fruit fly cut out and place on wall next to similar flies. 5. Repeat until you have data for 2 offspring Female Nucleus Offspring Nucleus

21. Investigation: Conclusion Pg 2-9 Answer the questions below using complete sentences. 1)Compare the offspring made by sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. 2)Explain why the offspring made by sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction. 3)Imagine a virus infects both populations of offspring and kills only red eyed flies. Which population of offspring is most likely to survive: the population of sexually or asexually reproducing flies? Explain your answer. Conclusion Questions
